Bought a tank on impulse

[superclown]

I was at pet smart picking up some dog stuff and they had a sale on the fluvial 5g not the cube one but the long and narrow one. I got it for my girl as a gift but not even sure what I wanna put I'm it.

Its got some sand and water in it will post pics later but need some stocking ideas. This will stay simple live rock sand no extra equipment besides maybe a hidden auto top off.

I don't think the LEDs are good enough to support coral so I will need a led but just don't know if I should do a invert tank or what want something easy. What would u guys put in it

If it is ok to mention, that I just came back from petco and they still have the dollar a gallon sale up to 55g and I just saw small fire shrimp for 25 and cleaner shrimp for 15. I don't have any relation with the store, just want it to share and sorry if I went out of topic on your threath.

Sexy shrimp and a mini maxi carpet Would be neat for a small tank.

I thought Harlequin shrimp needed a pod supported tank

nope harlequins need a starfish, which they will eat one leg at a time while it grows them back. Kind of cool/creepy right?

They also eat small starfish.

I'm pretty sure my girl would not be too happy to see that

They actually don't eat a leg at a time, they eat the tube feet. A lot of people, including myself, keep choco chip stars in another tank and cut a leg off and only offer them a leg at a time. If you keep a few chocos and alternate the amputation, they should have time to grow legs back.

I like the idea of maybe a pom pom crab I know a pink coco worm is on the list. I got some rock I'm actually going to sand and cut with my dremel. To do a micro minimal aquascape.
